Michael Wright Interview - September 11 Survivor

I now know what it's like to have a 110-story building that's been hit by a 767 come down on my head. For better or for worse, it's part of my life. There are things I never thought I'd know that I now know. The Anachronist, New Yorkers Aren't Rude. You Are. And I mean that title with the utmost of respect.

The Anachronist, New Yorkers Aren't Rude. You Are.

I’ve been a denizen of this fair[ly crappy] city my entire life, in one way or another. I spent some time in LA during college, but don’t worry, I got over it.

Zona Rosa - Rooftop Coconut Drinks, Tacos, and Tequila

We now present Zona Rosa, the second project from the team at nearby Mesa Coyoacan, which wants to serve you breakfast burritos in the morning and a watermelon margarita on its roof all afternoon. The rooftop is sleek and modern like a balcony at some arty millionaire's villa in Mexico City, and if you order the Coco Loco they'll hack the top off a fresh coconut with said machete and pour some tequila in it. Drinks not involving huge knives include the watermelon margarita and a serious tequila list. If for some reason you have to sit inside, it also happens to be pretty nice.

Deep in the belly of New York’s subway system, a beautiful untouched station resides that has been forgotten for years with only a limited few knowing of its existence.

New York City’s Hidden Subway Station

Stunning decoration with tall tiled arches, brass fixtures and skylights run across the entire curve of the station, almost a miniature imitation of Grand Central Station… But it sounds like something straight out of Harry Potter, right? It was opened in 1904, with the hope of making it the crowning glory of the New York subway system in elegant architecture and a place for commemorative plaques to honour the work that had resulted in such a successful underground mass transit system.

It was to be the original southern terminus of the first ‘Manhattan Main Line’; however the station was closed and boarded up in 1945. NINJA NEW YORK Restaurant, Finest Japanese Cuisine.
